* The One-Minute Resume
* Positive Attitude
* Dress the Part
* Write a Thank You Letter

1. The One-Minute Resume

The favorite question asked by most interviewers to break the ice with the candidate is "Tell me about yourself"

The manner in which you answer this question will determine how the rest of the interview flows.

For this purpose you create a "One-minute Resume"

Here Is An Example Of A One-Minute Resume:

"I grew up in rural Western Michigan and was active in the student governing body in high school. Apart from having the skill and experience that this position requires, my life as a military spouse has also positioned me as an ideal candidate for the job. The many and varied experiences as a military spouse, have boosted my level of education. It's provided learning opportunities that I have enjoyed while traveling, and increased my effectiveness in relating and communicating with people of varying cultures and
backgrounds."

It pays to spend the time practicing your one-minute resume until it rolls off your tongue effortlessly.

There Are Three Reasons For This.

1. It reflects that you are quite comfortable with yourself and your background, which puts you and the interviewer at ease.

2. With a polished one-minute resume you take control of the interview

3. A well presented one-minute resume draws the interviewer to you.

Don't ruin it by bragging, just tell an easy going story about yourself

2. The Positive Attitude

With a positive attitude you will be sure to come out a winner. Always remember --you're in an advantageous position during an interview -- because the interview is about...You! And when you come to think about it, you realize that in actual fact you know more about you than the interviewer.

The times are few and far between, when you're asked to speak about all that is great about you, with someone who is actually listening to every word...preparing helps you to enjoy the moment which reflects well on you.

Anticipate difficult questions delays and unexpected events, and don't let these sway your confidence and positive attitude

3. What To Wear To A Job Interview

Make the effort of wearing suitable business clothes which help build that all important first impression.

4. Write A Thank -You-Email Or Letter, After A Job Interview.

This helps to keep you in the mind of the interviewer and also gives you a chance to add any relevant skills you might have forgotten during the interview. Of course the thank you letter also shows that you follow through and are a person of a particular class. Use your thank you note to ask when the employer expects to make a decision.Remember to practice your one-minunte resume until it rolls off your tongue with ease, and then get over to that interview and get the job you want.
